The Miss World contest will benefit Bali, as the host region,
and Indonesia, an economist says.

'The contest will provide multiplying economic
impacts, such as increasing Bali residents' income, as long as it provides
numerous activities that utilize local talent and products,' Udayana University
economist I Gusti Wayan Murjana said as quoted by Antara on Tuesday.

Murjana added that the contest would also help
promote tourism in Bali and in Indonesia.
